What a great accomplishment! How did you manage to complete a JIT language in 2 months!?

thanks, the jit is still pretty early, so i would not call the language complete yet.

i started with a simple bytecode vm and built features on top of that one by one. keeping the scope practical helped a lot too, like using go for the runtime and focusing on things i actually wanted to use: packaging, http, plugins, lsp support, etc... there was also a lot of rewriting and fixing weird bugs along the way.
